Humanities Homework: Blog Post 1

Charles Baudelaire's message in his “Be Drunk” poem is really eye opening.  He tells us there is no other way to live, but to be drunk. But drunk on what? On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish. Just be drunk on life, and I 100% agree.  That is the important part; I think everyone hits a point in their life where they feel as if they have wasted their life. They have regrets.  Once you find a passion in something it’s as if you become “high” on it. You’ve been lifted up and you don’t want to come down. You want to forget about your regrets and live on something you know you’ll love. That’s how I see Baudelaire’s words.  Why live a sober life when you can drink to the world you live in? This is a motto that everyone can live from.  I am someone who didn’t make the greatest effort in, in Baudelaire’s words, being drunk.  I stood from a distance and watched life go by instead of standing in the middle and living it.  I can do that now though, I believe my college experience will provide many life lessons, especially in this Humanities class and am very excited to see how I benefit from this class!

Double Stuf Oreos.

Well. I finally made a blog! About freaking time. Only took me all summer to do it.. haha. I'm officially a college kid. (: Dixie State all the way baby! I've only been to three days worth of classes and I'm already piling up the homework. I figured blogging could help me get my mind off school stress when I need it. And I can share my new life on here. Moving from Springville to St George, making new friends, meeting new people, going to new places.

Well, you're probably wondering why my blog is called Refrigerated Oreos. So, let me tell you. First of all. I LOVE oreos. I kid you not when I say that my grandma would buy a box of double stuf (I don't really know why they spell it with one f. But it's whatever) oreos, and I'd eat the whole thing by myself within a week. That went on for about three weeks or so. Fatty much? Maybe a little.. Anyways, when Miranda and I moved into our apartment it was soooo hot! The air conditioning wasn't working and we had gone grocery shopping. Well I was afraid that the frosting on my oreos would melt if I left them out on the counter in our 116 degree apartment. So I stuck them in the fridge. And guess what? It was a brilliant idea! Who knew cold oreos would be so delicious? When people open our fridge and see the oreos in there, they're like, "What the. Oreos in the fridge? Weird." Yes, it is weird. But they are delicious.  

And that is how my blog became named, Refrigerated Oreos. (:
